Fields

Name Type Unit [Frame] Range/Enum Description
timestamp uint64 time since system start (microseconds)
timestamp_sample uint64 the timestamp of the raw data (microseconds)
vel_body float32[2] velocity obtained from gyro-compensated and distance-scaled optical flow raw measurements in body frame(m/s)
vel_ne float32[2] same as vel_body but in local frame (m/s)
vel_body_filtered float32[2] filtered velocity obtained from gyro-compensated and distance-scaled optical flow raw measurements in body frame(m/s)
vel_ne_filtered float32[2] filtered same as vel_body_filtered but in local frame (m/s)
flow_rate_uncompensated float32[2] integrated optical flow measurement (rad/s)
flow_rate_compensated float32[2] integrated optical flow measurement compensated for angular motion (rad/s)
gyro_rate float32[3] gyro measurement synchronized with flow measurements (rad/s)
gyro_bias float32[3]
